| - Hot Fuzz is the second film co-written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. It was released in 2007, and focuses on the action and buddy-cop genres. It stars Simon Pegg as Nicholas Angel, Nick Frost as Danny Butterman, Timothy Dalton as Simon Skinner and Jim Broadbent as Frank Butterman.
- Over a hundred action films were used as inspiration for developing the script. Filming took place over eleven weeks in early 2006, and featured an extensive cast along with various uncredited cameos. Visual effects were developed by ten artists to expand on or add explosions, gore, and gunfire scenes. A co-production of the United Kingdom and France, Hot Fuzz was released on 14 February 2007 in the United Kingdom. The film received wide acclaim, with critics praising the film's humour, satire, and the chemistry between Pegg and Frost. The film grossed over $80 million.
- A 2007 British police comedy. A Deconstructive Parody of, and homage to, American buddy cop movie tropes, set in sleepy town in England... with dark secrets! Nicholas Angel is the top London bobby who pretty much single-handedly keeps crime down. He is, in the words of his former girlfriend Janine (an uncredited and heavily disguised Cate Blanchett), incapable of "switching off". His superiors think he is doing too good a job, making the rest of the Met look bad, so they promote him out of the way and make him a sergeant in the sleepy town of Sandford, Gloucestershire.

His superiors think he is doing too good a job, making the rest of the Met look bad, so they promote him out of the way and make him a sergeant in the sleepy town of Sandford, Gloucestershire. Sandford is the winner of the Best Village In Britain award for several years running; a village renowned for having no crime... but many accidents. Being set in The West Country means all the typical stereotypes of that region are present, such as thick Somerset accents, farmer folk, tweed and wellies and some good old "Oo-ars!" Nick doesn't fit in at all. His duties are extremely banal, he immediately clashes with the laid-back cops there, and he is saddled with Danny Butterman, a rather fat young police officer who desperately wants to be a Cowboy Cop like in the movies (in Bad Boys II and Point Break, to be precise). Then a series of grisly incidents occur, leading Angel to suspect foul play. Written by Edgar Wright (who directed), starring Simon Pegg (who co-wrote) and co-starring Nick Frost (who plays Danny), this is a top-notch comedy action thriller that references plenty of tropes and ends up using them in the brilliant final act, which is possibly the most epic fight scene ever seen in a comedy, after Nicholas specifically says how wrong they are. It's also filled to the brim with Ho Yay -- to the point where the creators indulged in writing slashfic on Twitter a while later, just to toy with the characters some more. Second part of Wright's planned "Three Colours Cornetto" trilogy, preceded by Shaun of the Dead and followed by the yet-to-be-made World's End. Compare The Other Guys.

The film is the second in Wright and Pegg's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy and was preceded by 2004's Shaun of the Dead and followed by 2013's The World's End, each of them featuring a different flavour of Cornetto ice cream.
